Summary

Most diets have you restrict your food, eat only protein, or exercise compulsively while eating only pineapple after three oclock. Outwit Your Weight pinpoints the exact psychology that makes you crave chocolate as opposed to potato chips and helps readers understand and identify their particular food triggers. It then gives them tools to derail destructive eating habits, in many cases before they start, allowing you to literally outwit your weight.Readers exchange FATitudes for FITitudes for motivation and inner strength, and a series of questions and profiles gives the reader a total assessment of her weight-loss personality. Diet danger zones are recognized, and the strategies for each one lead the reader to the Tools section of the book for specialized advice on how to battle that particular danger zone. The running sidebars combine psychology, humor, and cutting-edge medical advice to help readers lose weight once and for all as they change their behaviors, not their lives. Outwit Your Weight can be used alone or to enhance any other diet plan. Finally, a smart approach to losing weight.
